Beau Geste (Paramount, 1939). One Sheet (27" X 41") Style
A.
Blazing colors ignite this one sheet with daring portraits of Gary
Cooper, Ray Milland, and Robert Preston set among the blistering
Saharan sands. A classic story of heroic sacrifice both on and off
the battlefield by novelist P.C. Wren, the film is a nearly
scene-for-scene remake of the popular silent 1929 rendition with
Ronald Colman playing lead, and is now considered the defining
cinematic portrayal of Wren's book. The very picture of bravery
with a slew of Tuareg troops racing towards our heroes, this one
sheet is a fantastic, vibrant image of these pre-Academy nomination
stars. Touchup has been applied to the folds, minor chips in the
upper and lower crossfolds, small tears in the bottom and left
borders, a tear from the right border into the background, a
vertical crease through the left side of the poster, and thin
scratches near the left border. There are chips in three corners
and small chips and slivers of paper loss in the borders. Very
Fine- on Linen.
